the "media" did not. the "media" alerted the country to a terrible situation along the border. if you want to cite specific journalists who made mistakes re: the crying girl photo, please do. most journalists were VERY careful.

Where they know their readers probably won’t go because so many CNN readers are ‘headlines only’ type readers.

Buried how far down? After the huge photo and inference. Are you joking? That’s not a legitimate way to present that story and it falls in line with Time’s defense that it set the tone so context didn’t matter. That’s not solid reporting.

To briefly add about Time’s defense — other outlets stood by their ridiculous assertion that the context was irrelevant because “she became the face of the story.” But this is just one, one story of so many more that feeds this distrust of media.

The fact journos like Brian are still so angry that people don’t trust them is very telling.

I have also been careful to not universally indict all media as some journalists have been very balanced, but that is the exception. The threat to reporting is the poor practicing of it, not the reaction to the poor practice of it.

Yep, & notice to that they did not push the part about where she left her other children back in Honduras? Husband said she came here to find work. When she got caught she tried to claim asylum. #FakeNewsMedia won't report that, either. Anyways, a real great mother. ?

@brianstelter Civility? Like the civility Sarah was shown at the Red Hen?Or maybe you mean the civility Mad Max offered to Republicans and conservatives.Look up the word "hypocrite" in the dictionary…You will find your picture there.
